To think cricketers are the best looking sportsmen?

Am more than a bit obsessed with James Anderson and Virat Kohli who has the world’s sexiest smile but all cricketers seem to be very easy on the eye!! Why does everyone obsess over footballers so much, they’re definitely missing a trick!

@LegAndSparkle

What a non inclusive thread. Women can play sport now too you know!
When did I say it had to be make cricketers?!

OP like me you'd probably like some cricket on free to view tv.

I rest my case!

YANBU OP, I've always thought this. And quite aside from the ones who are inherently very attractive, cricket whites make them all look a lot nicer than football kit would, plus there seem to be fewer awful hair cuts than in some other sports.

What a non inclusive thread. Women can play sport now too you know!

What a ridiculous remark. Presumably OP started a thread about sportsmen because she's attracted to men not women. People are allower to start threads about what's relevant to them, you know. Or perhaps MN should delete any thread about anything which doesn't cater for literally everybody's likes, interests or sexual preferences?

What's BDE
@sofato5miles www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/bb04c964-2b05-4285-aff0-bab957780f2b

Mary Berry has it. Maggie Smith has it. Virat Kohli has it. Rafael Nadal. You get the gist (its also very personal. I cant see how Pete Davidson has it)

If this was a thread somewhere of men leching on women athletes the MN feminists would be full of rants about it. Women leching on women they wouldn't know what to say about.

ps: I vote male rugby players as a sweeping generalisation by category, btw. Mighty fine specimens of beautiful maleness.

@sofato5miles Its big dck energy. Nothing to do with the size of one's d** though

AOwlAOwlAOwl · 24/03/2021 10:10

With you there OP.

Fight you for Jimmy Anderson though! Jason Holder is a pretty good consolation prize however Blush

worried3012 · 24/03/2021 12:30

I had a massive thing for Brian Lara back in the day, quite liked Shane Warne, and currently fancy Joffi Archer and Stuart Broad. But footballers are fitter for me Grin

@GingerScallop BDE has made my day, seriously

This video of Cooky & Jimmy playing darts is great. Grumpy Jimmy is actually smiling! Lots of lovely close-ups for us to enjoy, ladies. Grin

@Nora1978

Always find Lewis comes across a bit arrogant. With you on Nadal though!
I know 2 people that know Lewis, one of them knows him quite well. They both so he is not arrogant just very confident and who could blame him?

I think he is very good looking. He certainly has improved with age. I also think the best looking sportsmen are probably F1 drivers but, having said that, I don't follow other sports apart from tennis so don't have that much idea of footballers or cricketers

LakieLady · 24/03/2021 13:51

Imo, Jeremy Guscott is even better looking now than when he was younger.

And French rugby no. 11 is really gorgeous.

Especially the Italian team........

I agree that some of the F1 drivers are good looking, but most of them are tiny. I have stood next to Alonso, and I towered over him. He’s about 5’6, with a disproportionately large head.
